1'0 alt whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, FLOYD K. Essrizen and ARTHUR M. EASTMAN, citizens of the United States, residing at lifisnceione, in the county of Antrim and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Doors, of Wlnchthe following is s specifics tion.

proceeds, the invention resides in the comhination and errengcment of ports end the details of construction hereih'sfter described 1s a. apted to be engaged by thelstch-pin for locking the door in closed osition. Like reference numera .s indicate corresponding parts in. the diiierent views.

The door-frame 1, which preferably is rectangulsr in'shape, asusucl, is formed of angle metal, having the flanges 1 1., as shown The flange l lies in the plane of the door and has se cured thereto the filling material 2, which consists, referablypf Wirc-nctting, although, if desired: other suitable material may be employed. The filling material '2 is reniovably secured to the inside of the flan e 1 by,

means of removable strips 3, Whic are se cured to thefienge 1 by means of nut-bolts 4. In the event that the filling materiel 2 should become Worn or broken through use the strips 3 may be readily detached from the frame 1 in order to ermit the substitution of new filling material? 1 This invention relates to doors, and perand claimed as a practical embodiment there- Thecentrel portion of the fiiling material is preferably breced by s c 'osspiece 5, which is detschebly secured at its ends to the frame 1 by means of removable nut-bolts 5.

of the doorihe flanges Li st es. irerne it" re formed onoosite the orsticns on the opposite side oi the door. Extending through the perforations end 8 on one side of the door are nnt-holts 9, to the outer ends of which are sscnred the looped ends 10 of angle-hinges 11, which are adapted to en age perforations in hinged 'loreckets 12. Tie lower hinge 11 prcfershly is longer then thcrzpper hinge, so

to cause is e door to swing closed by grew ity, as usual in hinge constructions. it will be apparent that ii t be desired to hinge the op osite side of the door to the cosin the be ts 9 T be disengaged from the perroror tions on one side of the door and engaged with the perforations on the opposite side thereof, so that the hinges may be disposed on either side of the door. It will be seen, therefore, that the perforations 7 end 8 on oppositesides of the door constitute means to receive detachable hinges. V

in addition to the perforations end 8 the doord'rsnic is form-ed on opposite sides there-- of with perforations, such as 14, which constitute means on o posits sides the door to receive e1 dctochebie ioclring pimsuch as 15, which is formed with an annular slioolder 16 end reduced shank 17, which through the. perforation it end is heid ferred to the of the door opposite the bin es. 5. i
